If he does go there, he'll have gone from a Championship side who'll never get promoted under the current ownership to a team in La Liga. Sounds ambitious enough to me. Will he be getting paid more than the pittance he was on here? Of course. But he said he wanted to test himself at a higher level and he'll be doing it straight away. Good luck Ty.

The senior training centre one is just as bad, possibly even worse. Really poor stuff.

We wore our away kit at home to Basel in the Uefa Cup in 06/07 - not sure why. Looks like Basel were in all white.

Rangers have spent most of the last few seasons in the latter stages of the Europa League and Celtic almost knocked out Bayern in the knockout rounds of the Champions League last season. Plus the chance to play in the derby, 50/60k every home game, great chance of winning trophies. If you're Dolan you absolutely leave Rovers, where even if the team's doing well the club then does its best to limit just how well, for Celtic or Rangers.

We want new owners. All of those things that you mention only have a chance of happening with new owners.

I actually think in terms of natural football ability he's Championship level. He'll come on as sub and play a pass or two that nobody else would. But you need more than that. And Buckley doesn't seem to have it, hence his career's drifting.

Seeing which level or club Dolan is playing at next really is the least of our concerns and it's not some kind of win for Rovers if, say, he only joins a mid-table Championship club. The problem is we're losing - for nothing - a player who, while he blows hot and cold like almost everyone else, has been a regular here for years and is a proven Championship performer. Good on him for saying he wants to test himself at a higher level. It's a shame that thinking isn't aligned throughout the club. In fact if I had to bet on who'd kick a ball in the Premier League first between Dolan and a Venky-owned Rovers I know where my money would be going.....

Correct. But I’d still rather be at Ewood than on here moaning about the ref every week.

To be fair I’ll still be paying less than you buying an individual ticket most games. But the thought of giving any money at all to Waggot, Pasha and Venky’s is a horrible one.

Travis has posted an Instagram story saying it's disappointing news about Les Field (manager's PA and first team player liaison) and that she'll be missed. She's always seemed very popular with players going off their social media. People like her being made redundant while Waggott gets a big pay rise. Feel ill at the fact that I've renewed my season ticket.

I wonder what D Fletcher thinks about Sky and kick off times these days….

Correct! It’s absolutely crazy.

Renewing now. The thought of giving Waggot, Pasha and Venky's any money at all makes me ill but at least they'll be getting less from me than recent seasons as I'm changing seats - this means a new season ticket card. So there are three options: - Digital season ticket (no extra fee) - Collect physical season ticket (£20 extra) - Post new season card (£22.50 extra) What in god's name are they smoking down there?

What a through ball from Cole for the goal at Birmingham.

Ah, brilliant, full credit to them then!

Crikey, never thought of it like that before 🙁 awful. When will it ever end......

Ciccio Grabbi is the one that's basically written out. And the shirt will be from season 2001/02 if he's on there.

Hirst scored 7 goals for a team that got automatically promoted last season and has scored 3 (2 in the FA Cup) this season, he's hardly ripping it up.

At which point were we in a relegation battle under JDT? We were in relegation form when he left, but he'd long clocked out by then. Personally I'd look at his entire 18 months in charge rather than last few games when he couldn't wait to get out of here......

You fear they may go for somebody who managed in the Champions League final last season? I don’t think you need to worry - you don’t go from a CL final with Dortmund to working for Waggott and Pasha a few months later.

Exeter at home would be lovely. Win that and we're one win away from the QF.

Pretty much just a Mowbray thing that! Before him (QF in 12/13, 14/15 and fifth round 15/16, 16/17) and after (QF 22/23 and fifth round last season) we've actually got a decent recent record even since that lot darkened our doors.

Come on Rovers!!

We'd lost three out of the previous 16 league games before that game, or four out of 20 all comps. Eustace has said he hopes to be back towards the end of the month.
